Granting access to a storage device based on reservations

Abstract

A method includes, responsive to receiving a modified first reservation command from a storage controller, identifying, by a storage drive, a first range of storage based on a first range identifier of the modified reservation command. The method also includes granting, by the storage drive, a reservation for access to the storage drive on behalf of a first host controller by associating the reservation for the first range with a second range of storage.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A storage enclosure comprising:
 a plurality of multi-ported solid state storage devices presenting a first storage protocol; and 
 a plurality of storage controllers, operatively coupled to the plurality of multi-ported solid state storage devices, the plurality of storage controllers configured to:
 present the plurality of multi-ported solid state storage devices as solid state storage devices presenting a second storage protocol that is different than the first storage protocol; and 
 modify a reservation request using the second storage protocol from a host to replace a host identifier related to the reservation request with a logical identifier using the first storage protocol, the logical identifier representing the requesting host. 
 
 
     
     
       2. The storage enclosure of  claim 1 , wherein the first storage protocol is Non-volatile Memory Express (NVMe) over Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe). 
     
     
       3. The storage enclosure of  claim 1 , wherein the second storage protocol is Non-volatile Memory Express (NVMe) over fabric. 
     
     
       4. The storage enclosure of  claim 3 , wherein the second storage protocol is NVMe over Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). 
     
     
       5. The storage enclosure of  claim 3 , wherein the second storage protocol is NVMe over Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA). 
     
     
       6. The storage enclosure of  claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of storage controllers replace a same host identifier with a same logical identifier. 
     
     
       7. The storage enclosure of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of multi-ported solid state storage devices has erase blocks that are directly mapped. 
     
     
       8. A method comprising:
 presenting, by a processing device of a storage controller, a plurality of multi-ported solid state storage devices presenting a first storage protocol as solid state storage devices presenting a second storage protocol that is different than the first storage protocol; and 
 modifying a reservation request using the second storage protocol from a host to replace a host identifier related to the reservation request with a logical identifier using the first storage protocol, the logical identifier representing the requesting host. 
 
     
     
       9. The method of  claim 8 , wherein the first storage protocol is Non-volatile Memory Express (NVMe) over Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe). 
     
     
       10. The method of  claim 8 , wherein the second storage protocol is Non-volatile Memory Express (NVMe) over fabric. 
     
     
       11. The method of  claim 10 , wherein the second storage protocol is NVMe over Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). 
     
     
       12. The method of  claim 10 , wherein the second storage protocol is NVMe over Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA). 
     
     
       13. The method of  claim 8 , wherein each of the plurality of storage controllers replace a same host identifier with a same logical identifier. 
     
     
       14. The method of  claim 8 , wherein the plurality of multi-ported solid state storage devices has erase blocks that are directly mapped. 
     
     
       15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed, cause a processing device of a storage controller to:
 present a plurality of multi-ported solid state storage devices presenting a first storage protocol as solid state storage devices presenting a second storage protocol that is different than the first storage protocol; and 
 modify a reservation request using the second storage protocol from a host to replace a host identifier related to the reservation request with a logical identifier using the first storage protocol, the logical identifier representing the requesting host. 
 
     
     
       16. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 15 , wherein the first storage protocol is Non-volatile Memory Express (NVMe) over Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe). 
     
     
       17. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 15 , wherein the second storage protocol is Non-volatile Memory Express (NVMe) over fabric. 
     
     
       18. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 17 , wherein the second storage protocol is NVMe over Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). 
     
     
       19. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 17 , wherein the second storage protocol is NVMe over Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA). 
     
     
       20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 15 , wherein each of the plurality of storage controllers replace a same host identifier with a same logical identifier.
